Summer Intern Orientation

New summer interns receive a warm welcome to RDCEP. A group of six high school interns are working with RDCEP over the summer, pairing with undergraduate and graduate research students to conduct interdisciplinary research in the areas of climate and energy policy. Interns are working on two projects: analyzing energy usage data from the City of Chicago's Sustainable Development Division, and testing different scenarios based on hypotheses they develop within the CIM-EARTH Framework.
